About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and animals they’ve always been a big part of my life. From the time I was 11 to 17 I helped my aunt with her animal care business, which gave me lots of walking, feeding, bathing, and spending quality time with dogs of all kinds. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets too, and I always treat each one like they’re my own. I truly enjoy giving animals love, attention, and a safe, happy environment. This is my second job! As I am a young adult trying to save up for my future so my schedule is very tight around my other jobs schedule as of right now. When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I stick to their normal routines for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel secure. I give plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles, and always keep their space clean and cozy. I also follow any special instructions carefully, whether that’s giving medications, handling specific diets, or keeping up with training. My goal is to make each pet feel like they’re part of my family while their owner is away.

“Anytime I hire Anthony I know my babies will be well cared for! He is very communicative and shares a ton of great photos and videos of your pups!”

About: Hi! My name is Samantha, and I'm a graduate student at Claremont Graduate University. I understand that every animal needs care, attention, and affection while their owners are away. I grew up around dogs and spent many years helping care for my grandparents' beloved Pekingese. In high school, I also volunteered as a dog walker at a local animal shelter, where I gained experience working with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also have experience caring for cats and appreciate their unique personalities and routines. Whether a cat enjoys playtime and attention or prefers a quieter environment and personal space, I am happy to adapt to their individual needs and help them feel comfortable while you're away. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every animal has unique needs. My background in psychology, education, and caregiving (including experience working with children and families) has strengthened my communication skills, attention to detail, and ability to remain calm and dependable in a variety of situations. I enjoy building trust, following routines carefully, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for those in my care. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! As a graduate student and part-time tutor, I have a flexible schedule that allows mean to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and other routine care. I strive to provide consistent, attentive care while making sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. Your pet's safety and well-being are important to me. I take care to follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any other care preferences you provide. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I do my best to help them feel comfortable while maintaining a safe and consistent environment. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to treating your pets with kindness and respect.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up around dogs in my neighborhood, which taught me how to care for pets with patience and attention. I’m dependable, active, and committed to making every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m doing undergrad research at Pomona College and my hours are roughly 9-3. I’m free most weekends, early mornings and evenings to take care of your pets. I can be flexible and adjust to whatever works for you. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and a safe, clean environment. I also respect each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, or older, and I keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands.

“Absolutely amazing experience! They have been taking care of my dog, Guzhy, for two years now, especially during my vacations, and I couldn’t be happier. They are always patient, kind, and truly attentive to his needs. I really appreciate the detailed updates and how reliable and consistent they are—it gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. They always go above and beyond and treat Guzhy with so much care and love. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dedicated. I’m so grateful for them! 😊”

About: Aside from taking care of my own little zoo (3 dogs, 4 cats), I love helping friends and family care for theirs as well too. Happy to assist if your pet needs a walk, some playtime, or food. I work full time at Disney, but I’m hybrid. So I work 3 days a week from home. I’d have some time on my off days as well as before or after work on the days I work from home. I’ll follow whatever needs you have for appropriate care of your pet. If they need to be crated after I leave, how much and what to feed. Every pet is different and I’m adaptable for whatever your furry friend needs.

About: Hi! My name is Valentina, I’ve been walking dogs for three years now in New York City with another app. I recently moved to California for Veterinary School and it will be my first time working with Rover! I’ve volunteered at dog shelters where I was in charge of walking and feeding them and also administered medications when needed. In New York I had the opportunity to walk over 150 dogs as a part time job while I was also working as a vet assistant in a clinic where we were fear free certified so I take it very seriously to establish a fear free and trusted bond with each animal. I’m really patient with animals and always make sure that they’re having a good time during their walks because it’s not just a walk for them. It’s their opportunity to explore and have some enrichment time! I speak English, Spanish and French so I do my best to establish a clear and transparent communication with every owner about their expectations and requirements of each pet! I currently don’t have any pets here in California so I’m always thrilled to get to spend some time with other pets through these job! I hope I can be a good fit for your furry friend! I’m currently in veterinary school so my availability is mostly during the weekends or afternoons after 5pm. But during the summer I’m open to any other day! I always make sure to communicate as much as possible with the owners. I like to provide a clear picture of how the walk/ sitting is going and to make sure they can feel as close as possible to their pets while they are not with them. I like to let owners know when we are about to leave and then during a pause send them a picture during the walk but I would usually put my phone away until we go back just to be fully present during the walk. I always make sure they have clean water before I leave and to leave them with a treat or toy while I’m leaving just for positive reinforcement!

About: I’ve always loved animals and had many family pets growing up. I have had experience caring for and walking dogs of various ages and temperaments. I can stay kind, patient, and conscientious every step of the way! I have a very flexible schedule and can adapt on the fly! Let me clear my mind and a bit of your to do list with a brisk or slow stroll with your four legged friend. I show respect to all species and will vow to take the safest and healthiest path each step of the way with your four legged family member. Open to suggestions and areas your pet may need extra attention or time on.

About: Looking for a pet sitter? Sign up for Rover through my link to get $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/marisl04002 My goal is simple: to give your pet the same level of comfort, attention, and care they get when you’re home. As a sitter, I bring personal attention, reliability, and genuine love to every pet I care for. I don't just watch pets — I bond with them. I take time to understand each animal’s personality, routine, and special needs to ensure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in your absence. I tailor my care to match your pet’s unique habits — whether that’s extra playtime, medication schedules, special diets, or just quiet companionship. I treat every home and pet as if they were my own, with professionalism, respect, and a high level of communication. Daily updates and photos are always included, so you can travel with peace of mind. As a part-time pet sitter who provides boarding, pet care is central to how I structure my days. When pets stay with me, I treat their needs as my top priority, creating a warm, safe, and engaging environment throughout the weekend. My routine includes regular feeding times, exercise, play sessions, and quiet rest periods, all designed to keep pets comfortable and happy away from home. Communication with pet parents is part of my routine too — I provide regular updates and photos so they feel connected and confident their pets are in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stable environment where pets feel secure and cared for, and pet parents can trust their fur baby is safe, whether in my home or theirs.

About: Hi! I have 5+ years of experience as a vet technician and currently attending vet school to receive my DVM so you can definitely trust me with your babies! I am experienced with proper care and handling of a variety of species including cats, dogs, reptiles, and birds. I am also proficient at administering meds and caring for senior pets if needed as I had my own senior dog with kidney and heart disease and am aware of what going into caring for pets on medications! On most weekdays I only have about 2 classes that I attend so I am usually free for the day after 1 pm, and I am usually at home in the mornings (until 10 am). I am free most weekends as well. my schedule is pretty flexible so I shouldn’t have much of a problem bending my schedule around to fit your pets’ needs.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always considered pets to be part of the family. After moving out on my own, I adopted my first pet and have continued growing my furry (and finned!) family. Today, I care for two cats, one dog, and a small aquarium. Over the years, I've provided pet sitting and care for family members' pets throughout all stages of life. My experience includes caring for healthy, active pets as well as senior dogs and dogs with special needs, including seizure disorders. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and providing individualized care to help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply sticking to their regular routine, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. My own pets are like family to me and I spend time with them each day. Besides feeding them and basic care I spend time playing with them, cuddling with them and giving them all the attention they deserve. My work schedule is flexible and I am able to change my work times to fit the needs of my pets. In my home I spend a lot of time talking and cuddling with my pets. They also get hyper at times and I play along with them with their toys or just with my hands. When dogsitting my family's animals it would depend on the animal. Some of the dogs were elderly so they would not want to walk very much and just would require some love and affection. Others were very hyper and I would play with them and walk them outside when it wasn't too hot.
